4 textile training group The aims of the textile training group are to support the training needs of the industry: be it manufacturing, industrial, technical or scientific on the one hand; and fashion, clothing and design on the other. The group operates in a number of different modes and at different levels to cover diverse need. These are detailed in this brochure. Academic courses in textile technology and science in the UK have dwindled over the years, thus leaving a huge knowledge gap in this industry. This is where the textile training group fulfils the need by combining academic, industrial textile and business experts who can fill this knowledge gap. Textiles are an immensely complex area and The University of Leeds, with its network of textile experts, has brought together a wide range of courses that will help to fill this need. in-company training A number of companies prefer to commission in-house training programmes designed specifically for each client and held at either their own premises or their own selected venue. The benefits of this are: - cost effectiveness, especially where there is a need to train a number of employees at the same time - sensitive information remains confidential - course programme tailored to company requirement short courses Our large folio of courses is carried out on a repeating basis throughout the academic year. The wide range of courses offered is designed to provide training of from one to five days in duration depending on the subjects covered. These are prepared courses, where the content for each course is detailed in this brochure. 2

5 those who will benefit Over the years, many national and international companies, including large corporate companies, have benefitted from sending personnel on our courses. The military and civil services are also regular attendees. Anyone involved in manufacturing, sourcing and selection, merchandising, retail or buying will benefit enormously from our courses. Personnel from schools and colleges also attend. The Nonwovens Network was established in The initiative came from Industry, who aired the view that there was no official UK body or association for them to refer to and generally get to know each other. The Network, now in its 19th year, has over 220 members and has held many successful seminars, conferences and dinners, all attended by members, their guests and associates. For further details of membership, please see page 23. This year EDANA will be holding their Nonwovens Innovation Academy on 5-6th November The University of Leeds will be hosting this prestigious event and the Nonwovens Network is hosting the evening cocktail reception where there will be a display of garments made from nonwoven materials. Member companies of the Network kindly donated materials to the School of Design fashion students at the University to make this happen. 3

25 The Network was established in 1997, jointly by the British Textile Technology Group, the University of Leeds and Nonwovens Report International. The initiative came from Industry, who aired the view that as there was no official body or association for them to refer to, the Industry had no means by which they could meet up, discuss ideas and generally get to know each other. Hence the Nonwovens Network, became a loose association of like-minded people who would meet together twice a year at an annual dinner and annual seminar. The Network has over 220 members and has held several successful seminars and dinners, all attended by well over 100 members, their guests and associates. 19th annual dinner Thursday 3rd December 2015 The dinner is being held at the usual venue of the Holiday Inn, junction 25 M62 at Brighouse, West Yorkshire. The dinner is free to all members of the nonwovens network who have paid their annual subscription of Members are welcome to invite guests to the dinner and will be charged accordingly. membership The cost of membership has not increased since the Network was formed in For 50.00, becoming a member of the Network entitles you to: free place at the annual dinner concessionary rates at the annual event selected training courses entry onto the Nonwovens Network website For further details, please contact Dinah Wharton tel: or d.j.wharton@leeds.ac.uk 23
